Null pointer in manager web app. Tomcat 6.0.14

I'm using Tomcat 6.0.14 as part of a cognos product installation. I'm following the installation guide. After installing the product and edit the configuration files, I need to deploy a war and a ear files using de Tomcat Manager application. Trying to log on as the System manager the server returns the following error:
